We love, LOVE our new air fryer. It replaced a deep fryer. Now we know our food is healthier and tastes even better. Plus it comes with a great little cookbook.

I use these at many sites to backup electronics. APC is top notch and these have many good features. I love seeing how full the battery charge is and how large of a load I have plugged into the UPS, all on the front panel.

If you need a microSD card this is perfect, no matter if your device is new or old. This is a rugged card, with 128GB of memory. I purchased for my new DSLR Digital camera, but this will work in any device that takes a microSD card - or SD card using the adapter that is included.

My wife and I are beginning stage 2 of our lives. Our kids are old enough to leave alone and time to redirect our focus on us. We plan to travel abroad more and wanted a camera to document and capture the beauty of the places, people, and things that we will see.
In preparation for our first trip without any kids in over 20 years we had researched a new digital camera. We knew we wanted the ability to swap lenses, thus a DSLR camera was needed. Our past experiences with digital cameras was mostly the point and shoot digitals with the built in lens. Nice cameras, but not what we want moving forward.
We happened upon a friend that was using this camera and making it look easy. The camera was this Canon EOS Rebel T6. From our past experience I knew that I liked Canon digital cameras, so I researched and found this bundle at Best Buy.
Very easy to use, only had to read the manual to learn how to add/remove/swap the two lenses that were included.
We left on a cruise the day after and have hundreds of pics to help us remember our trip. I'm looking forward to our next trip to Alaska!

The Culligan® WH-HD200-C Heavy-Duty Sediment Filter allows you to preserve and protect your household plumbing and water-using appliances. Designed for installations where a 1-inch water main is present at the point of entry, this filter housing features stainless steel reinforced inlet/outlet and cap for added durability. A filter life indicator is built into the filter head which alerts you when you need to change your filter cartridge . The large filter size provides 4 times the capacity where high sediment concentration is an issue. Because water quality varies among locations, the WH-HD200-C is sold without a filter cartridge. The unit comes with a 2-year limited warranty. The WH-HD200-C housing uses filter cartridges CW5-BBS, CW25-BBS, CP5-BBS, P25-BBS, R50-BBSA, and RFC-BBSA. Filter cartridge sold seperately.
 

My water main was replaced two years ago and is now a 3/4" line. 1. Does Best Buy do the install? 2. Can my water main be adapted to fit my system?

Best Buy does not install. You'll need to hire a plumber, though installation is easy, and should take less than an hour.

Your plumber can easily adapt your water line to fit the 1" inlet on this Culligan system.

Do you have to have a Culligan System to use this filter system? Can it just be installed on it's own?

This filter housing can be installed on it's own. In my case, we have a well. I have this as a whole house filter, followed by a soft water system. The soft water system is manufactured by a totally different company.
On a side note, I've tried filters in this housing by several different manufacturers. In the end, you'll have to decide which filter you prefer.

Hi Buddy,

Bestbuy doesn't install these, but any licensed plumber can.

This would work well with a 3/4" main line. Your plumber will adapt to it. You just don't want your filter to be smaller than your line. The same size, or bigger, is good.

Hi Bob,

I buy the Pentair/Omnifilter T08 at Menards, for about $20. It's rated for 40,000 gallons, or about 9 months. I'm still on my first filter, but will definitely buy more.

 Escort - Max 360 Radar Detector for Most Vehicles - Black
Escort - Max 360 Radar Detector for Most Vehicles - Black
This Escort Max 360 0100024-2 radar detector features USB connectivity, a smartphone app and connection to the DEFENDER database to provide you with up-to-date, real-time alerts. GPS AutoLearn technology isolates real signals from false alarms.
 

What are the differences between the 360c and the 360. Thanks.

I had to research this myself, before buying the Max360. The biggest difference is that the "c" stands for connected, meaning updating it is super easy via Bluetooth. The Max360, which I bought, has to be connected via USB cable to update. Not a big issue for me, since an update doesn't take long, and is only needed every year or two, in my opinion.

EXCELLENT radar/laser detector! I had the 9500IX for the past 5 years, or so, and while that is a good detector, the Max360 is even better. I've been side by side comparing them the past month and the Max360 definitely triggers before the 9500 does. Both are good, the Max is just a little better.
